Sabres' Tage Thompson: Set to miss 3-to-5 weeks

Thompson suffered an upper-body injury against Chicago on Sunday that will keep him sidelined 3-to-5 weeks.

Thompson was making his 2019-20 NHL debut Sunday and lasted just 6:59 before getting hurt. The Sabres are desperately thin at forward due to a bevy of injuries, which could open the door for Jean-Sebastien Dea or Andrew Oglevie to earn a promotion to the big club. Once cleared to play, Thompson will likely head back down to the minors.
